Can I order individual items?

Yes. Above all, we set out to make ordering meat online as simple and as cost-effective as possible. So we decided on a one-box fits all approach. In short, we devised a broad selection of items that our customers can choose from to create their bespoke meat selection box. You can opt for our cost-effective Meat selection boxes or order items individually.

Our Meat Boxes are designed to be ordered weekly, fortnightly or monthly in order to keep a family, no matter what size, stocked up with high-quality meat items.

One or more products have spoiled

Most importantly, we label each of our products in line with our health & safety rules. These rules should be followed by the customer in order to maintain the quality and safety of our products. However, if you believe that one or more of the items that you have received has prematurely spoiled then please contact us and we’ll talk you through checks.

If our checks find that the product has indeed spoiled, we will offer a refund for the spoiled items.

What are the limitations to the Meat in my Box?

Our Meat Box only has one limitation:

The minimum order value is £30

There are no limits on:

Items you add to your box.
The number of each item ordered.
The number of Meat Boxes you order.

The meat in my box is warm

If the products inside your meat box do not feel cold or are above 8°C, then please contact us immediately. We will then go through checks with you. If we also find the meat to be unfit for consumption we shall advise you to dispose of the items and will offer the following options:

Replacement of the order at the next available delivery

Our boxes are specially designed to maintain the cool temperature of the meat in transit but several factors could be the cause of this issue.

Mince/burgers have brown patches

If your burgers or mince have developed a brown colour on the surface or in the centre – do not be alarmed. Most importantly, do not throw the item away – this is perfectly normal and safe to eat.

Why does this happen?

This is all a matter of science. A pigment exists within beef called myoglobin and this pigment contains iron. This pigment starts out purple when beef is first cut, when exposed to oxygen in the air it turns red.

Enzymes within the meat use this oxygen and while doing so, remove electrons from the iron within the myoglobin. As a result, this turns the myoglobin and the meat brown. There are other enzymes present that give electrons back to the iron within the myoglobin, consequently, turning the myoglobin and the meat back to purple and red.

Minced beef and burgers have a high surface area, subsequently, the myoglobin is saturated with Oxygen from the air. Once the mince is packed or the burgers have been pressed, the myoglobin on the outside areas can continue this cycle. However, the mince that is in the centre or has a burger disc attached to it only has enough oxygen for the enzymes to turn the myoglobin brown. It is not enough for the other enzymes to turn the myoglobin purple and red again as the air and oxygen cannot penetrate through.

Therefore, the centre of the mince and any surface of burgers that are covered may be brown upon delivery. Once the mince is broken up or the burgers are unpackaged and exposed to the air, they will begin to turn red again as the Oxygen allows the enzymes within the myoglobin to continue the cycle.

An explanation and biology lesson rolled into one!

Where do we source our meat from?

We source our meat box products based on quality, price and welfare standards.

You can always find the country of origin displayed beneath each item within our store. That is to say, we do not hide this information as we want our customers to make an informed decision based on the products we have on offer.

– Beef is sourced from farms in Staffordshire and across the UK, which are reared on a grass rich diet.
– Whole Chickens and Chicken Portions are British

– Boneless Chicken Fillets are predominantly sourced from UK and Holland.
– Lamb products are sourced from the UK.
– The Pork we supply originates from UK and Spain. We have worked in the industry for many years and our Spanish pork loins are the most consistent and tasty meat product we have ever sourced.
– Our Turkeys and Turkey Breasts are British


In conclusion, you can see that whilst we do offer a broad range of British products, we do source from other parts of the world. Because we know we’re sourcing from reputable farmers and wholesalers and the quality of the products meets our high standards, we stand by our products.
